Why doesn't my printer show up in the GTK 3 print dialog?
What does show up there (without cups running)?
With CUPS stopped, "Print to File" and "print" show up in the Evince
(GTK 3) print dialog [1]. If I start CUPS on a *remote* machine, those
queues appear in the print dialog also (CUPS still stopped on the local
machine). It doesn't matter whether CUPS is running locally or not, the
same items appear. (The local CUPS doesn't have any queues configured.)
At no time does the printer show up, although I confirm that
avahi-browse does still discover it, and it does show up in the
LibreOffice (not GTK 3, I think?) print dialog.
I'm not sure where the "print" item comes from. If I select it, its
status changes to "Getting printer information..." and the pointer spins
forever.
